Development

After over 30 years of ownership, thePort Browning Marina Resort has new owners. The Mill Bay Marine Group has purchased this property with long term plans, which include improvements to the marina and upland property.

June 2017 update

We are proud to announce the successful renovations of our Pub, Café and Kitchen. This famous and iconic space has been tastefully and thoughtfully renovated. Our goal of not losing the relaxed and rustic feel of the pub has been met and we’ve introduced a fresh and new space in the old Café. We are pleased to announce that Bridgemans Pub and Bistro North Pender is open and ready to serve you. The upgrades include new floors, walls, windows, doors, and almost all visible surfaces throughout the building. The kitchen is all new. The Bistro, including retractable outdoor awnings has its own modern feel and will provide the backdrop for your future memories.

We are also pleased to announce that our development has received a successful 3rd reading. We anticipate a successful permitting process for both our uplands and marina plans.

Our next phase of development focuses on the marina, with brand new docks, wave protection, fuel dock, sani-pump out, new power supply, and WiFi.
